Keeps you wanting more

The plot thickens… Linda Chaikin does a phenomenal job. Allison’s Faith only grows stronger while evils murk in the dark. Love it!!!

Another amazing book by Linda Chaikin!

This is the second book in Linda Chaikin's Egypt series, and it's almost as good as the first book. Allison's story continues in this book, with a new tale of murder, suspense, and espionage, while continuing the love story between Allison and Bret. As I stated in my review of "Arabian Winds", the chemistry between these two characters is impeccable--you can almost see it! And once again, the plot in this book will have you up all night...you simply can't wait to find out what happens! A definite must-read for any Christian romance fans, as well as Christian fiction and mystery fans. If you're new to this series, make sure to read "Arabian Winds" first (it's book #1). This one is book #2, and "Valiant Hearts" is the third and final book in this exhilirating and captivating series.

One of the best ever written by Linda Chaikin!

Wow! What can I say? This book is full of adventure, romance and intrigue during one of the worst times in the world's history. Allison Wescott is serving in a field hospital trying to get Major Bret Holden out of her mind and focus on her duties a year later after the events of 1914. Wade Findlay arrives as a medical intern and Allison decides to join him in treating wounded British soldiers near Baghdad. She was totally unprepared for Bret's reappearance in her life and the feelings that came along with him. After a tragedy near Baghdad, Allison goes home on medical leave. Little did she know that she will stumble once again into espionage and murder. Allison and Bret must find the murderer and the Egyptian treasure that everyone seems to want. A great story about finding love in uncertain times, faith in the Lord and courage. I heartily recommend this for a great exciting read!

even better than the first! (if that's possible)

Again, I say wow! Linda Chaikin delights us again with the thrilling second book in the Lions of the Desert series. In this book, Allison Wescott is in the Arabian Desert, nursing wounded WWI soldiers in August 1915. Colonel Bret Holden has disappeared from her life, and she struggles to go on amidst all the pain and agony. Suddenly, Bret shows up again and she's swept into a whirlwind of events in the espionage ring again. She stays at the Blaine House with Sarah Blaine and there seems to be an invisible, mysterious intruder watching her every move! When seemingly innocent people are murdered brutally, Allison and Bret must look deeper...who can they trust? No one is who they seem to be...This book will kep you thrilled till the very end. I highly recommend it!

I've already done a review of the first book in the series but I felt I need to review this one as well after reading what others had to say.This book is better than good,it's GREAT.You couldn't ask for a more exciting plot or cleaner more heart-pounding romance.If this is the kind of thing you go for please don't hesitate to read this spectacular book.
